Night Lost Arrives

Turns out my release date for Night Lost is today rather than May 7th. Surprise!

I don't know why it's out a week early, but readers are telling me that it's shipping from the online booksellers, and my sister says I'm already on the shelf at BAM. When we went this afternoon to pick up some mulch for the front yard, my son headed over to the book/magazine section for the latest issue of Shonen Jump, and brought back a copy of NL with that big Wal-Mart price sticker plastered over Gabriel's forehead like a weird bandaid.

I was going to make a pathetic determined effort at posting some self-promo for Night Lost next week. I was. Really. Wait, wait, I did do some already -- I spent the day over at Shiloh's last week (which was great) talking about myself (which is torture.) That counts.

Be so much easier if I could just blame the dog.

Anyway, if you have enjoyed the Darkyn books, or like vampire fiction but are interested in trying something different, and you'd be okay with making my publisher extremely happy and keeping me employed, I invite you to pick up Night Lost, available nation-wide today.

I'm sorry. I just can't run out and get my copy right now. Why not, you ask? Cause I'm feverishly working my way through the Stardoc books! Fortunately I was warned about the mother of all cliff hangers that ended book 2 with a "What?!!" *g*. Seriously though, Happy Release Day, and I can't wait to get my hands on it and read!Ann

Congrats on release day! I'm not into vamps, sorry, Lynn! But I DID get the first Darkyn book for my best friend who IS into vamps. Will prod her to buy the rest of the series. Or purchase the next couple as a present. Whatever. *determined to support you*

Yay for new releases! I work at a B&N in receiving and was just telling the girl who works with me about your Darkyn books. The next box I open - there's ten of those bright green eyes looking at me. Needless to say, I made lots of happy noises. Unfortunately, I have to wait till Friday to get my copy. Congrats on the latest. :)

I picked it up off the shelf at BAM over the weekend. I briefly tried to figure out when BAM started selling mulch, but then I caught on that Wal-Mart sells books, which makes more sense. (See? I'm a little quicker on the uptake than some people thought.)

And you have that poor little dog writing your books and doing your promotion, too?

I was going to tell my spouse that if he needed to work late today, that I can take care of the toddler. Now I'm going to ask him to come home and work from there so that as soon as my son's head hits the pillow I can head out to the bookstore!

Congratulations on the release- may it bring you more much-deserved success.

Lynn,I have been sitting on the edge of my seat since first stumbling upon Dark Need a over a year ago. After reading it and realizing it was the third of your books I went on a quest to find the first two and proceeded to read the series backwards. (It still worked which impressed me beyond words.) I Just got my copy of Night Lost and it was worth the wait. I have become a die hard fan of your work. Keep up the good work!!! (And keep writing more…lots lots more…and soon!)SincerelyDiana
